@kelpsyberries.bsky.social Thank you for the amazing artwork!!

Bodies are like Tetris--the longer you play the game of being alive, the faster shit keeps happening and the more you have to scurry around doing maintenance trying not to crash.

I liked Easy Mode, dammit.

a reminder as user growth increases here, labelers are very useful tools

like this one for dogwater ass brand accounts that nobody cares about

“We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist”

- James Baldwin

A man is tied to a chair. Two feds approach him. One says "Feed him the gusher!" The restrained man objects "NO! NO!" They forced feed the candy to him and his head turns into a giant apple. A tear rolls down his eye and he says "I used to be a man."

The world doesn’t respect DJT.

Playing Persona 4 is genuinely mind-numbing at times for this very reason, the writing is like modern Marvel brainrot on crack lol

Why the Guardian is no longer posting on X We will stop posting from our official editorial accounts on the platform, but X users can still share our articles

The Guardian will no longer post its content to X

for a fraction of the cost it takes to run chatGPT we could put a computer terminal in every smoky back alley jazz club, and instead of asking a robot all your questions, you could find out what an aging blues musician thinks about it

Bluesky is now the #2 social app in the US, Canada, and #3 in the UK 🦋

On bsky, ~30% of y'all are posters compared to the 1% main characters on other platforms. Turns out there's more chattiness & connection when you have algorithmic choice 🤭

“yOu NeEd tO gRoW oUt Of GaMiNg”

Listen…

I don’t drink
I don’t smoke
I BARELY do cocaine

Pretty sure I could do plenty of worse things with my time and money than playing video games

💯

Please do not use bluesky to only post screenshots and links to the most grotesque, rage-inducing tweets out there.

We know! That is why we left!

This is the song of a lady whose friends tried to marry her against her inclination: Book of Songs, poem 75, "Cypress Boat"

My heart is not a mirror
To reflect what others will

My heart is not a stone
It cannot be rolled

My heart is not a mat
It cannot be folded away

我心匪鑑 不可以茹
我心匪石 不可轉也
我心匪席 不可卷也

《邶風·柏舟》from Book of Songs (c. 600 BCE)
I like Arthur Waley's translation, so sharing his instead of mine #everynightapoem

Some writing I did for a prompt on climate change, in class today.

4 panel comic: P1: Begins with a caption box. "There's a scene in Twin Peaks - The Return where David Lynch --as Gordon Cole-- utters the words: Beneath, is a caricatured drawing of Gordon Cole saying "FIX THEIR HEARTS, OR DIE" P2: Another caption. "Those words have been going through my head on repeat today" Beneath, a silhouette of my head forms in negative space formed in a pink-red background. Within the head are multiples of the phrase spoken by Cole. P3: A massive "FIX THEIR HEARTS OR DIE" dominates the panel, formed, again, in the negative space. P4: Sandwiched between two caption boxes --one top, one bottom-- is the image of a man yelling with unbridled rage. The top caption reads "so many people need to hear those words with their whole person--" The bottom finishes with "--however, maybe those people are already lost to us"

fix their hearts or die
